MMAjunkie recently requested and today received the list of show and win purses from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

UFC 167 took place Nov. 16 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.

St-Pierre received a guaranteed $400,000 to fight Johny Hendricks, who received a guaranteed $50,000 in his first shot at a UFC title. St-Pierre earned a contentious split-decision win over Hendricks in a bout that UFC President Dana White insisted should have been given to the challenger.

In the co-main event, former light heavyweight champion Evans earned $250,000 for his win over Chael Sonnen, who banked $100,000 for his efforts.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter’s income. They also do not include any other “locker room” or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. Additionally, they don’t include any pay-per-view revenue some top fighters receive.

For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC 167 bonuses to Woodley (“KO of the Night”), Cerrone (“Submission of the Night”), St-Pierre (“Fight of the Night”) and Hendricks (“Fight of the Night”).

In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.

brock lesnar used to get the same $400 k no win bonus as well so i am assuming that is the case.

also its weird that robbie lawlor made more than 3 times what hendricks did not counting FOTN bonus. villante making $40 k was surprising too it seems like the former striekforce guys make way more money than other fighters of their caliber im asuming its a carry over from the buyout.
